Question:
What kind of a language is Finnish?
It doesn't look like swedish. Being dutch I'm able to understand
swedish a bit when I read it, I don't understand a word of finnish
written text. Fins seem to use fewer words, but very long ones.
Dutch '96 nobelprize winner Paul Crutzen (chemistry), married a
finnish wife years ago, but doesn't speak finnish (they speak
swedish at home): finnish is impossible to learn, he says.
The other way around is not a big problem, apparently: Ajax player
Jari Litmanen has learned to speak dutch pretty good in a
relatively short time (about 4 years).
Where does the finnish language come from? Why is it differing
so much from the other scandinavian languages?
Answer:
It is the hardest language in the world to learn.
The very long Finnish words are because they take the very short
Finnish words and combine them to maketheverylongFinnishwords long.
It is related to Hungarian (the second hardest language in the world).
It differs from other Scandinavian languages because God wanted it
that way.
